Hello!

During 1919, J. Edgar Hoover became the head of the Justice Department's Bureau of Investigation. This Bureau investigated radical groups and identified their members. Hoover's first task as the head of the Bureau was to lead the Palmer Raids with the intent of arrest and deport those people who were considered dangerous like communists, anarchists or other radicals.
